Oxford Games
Oxford Games Ltd, incorporated in 1991, is an English board game company.
History
Founded by Leslie Scott ( the creator of Jenga),[1] and the graphic designer, Sara Finch. Finch & Scott co-designed Swipe and The Great Western Railway Game (published by Gibsons Games) in 1985, and then went on to develop and design almost forty games together.[2] Most were published and marketed through Oxford Games Ltd, though there were several that were designed to commission for other companies such as Past Times, and still others that were endorsed by institutions, such as the Ashmolean Museum.
